5 Incline axis management
On certain machines, the axes are not configured as Cartesian, they
form angles other than 90º between them, instead. A typical case is
the X axis of a lathe that, for sturdiness, it is not at 90º of the Z axis,
but at another angle.
In order to program it in the Cartesian system (Z-X), activate the incline
axis transformation to convert the movements to the non-
perpendicular real axes (Z-X'). This way, a movement programmed on
the X axis is transformed into movements on the Z-X' axes. In other
words, it switches to making movements along the Z axis and the
angular axis X'.
Machine parameter setting
The incline axis transformation is defined with the following general
machine parameters.
ANGAXNA (P171) ANGular AXis NAme
Incline axis.
ORTAXNA (P172) ORThogonal AXis NAme
Axis perpendicular to the Cartesian axis associated with the incline
plane.
